.
The Boost.Chrono library provides:
.
* A means to represent time durations: managed by the generic
duration class . Examples of time durations include days, minutes,
seconds and nanoseconds, which can be represented with a fixed number
of clock ticks per unit. All of these units of time duration are
united with a generic interface by the duration facility.
* A type for representing points in time: time_point. A time_point
represents an epoch plus or minus a duration. The library leaves
epochs unspecified. A time_point is associated with a clock.
* Several clocks, some of which may not be available on a
particular platform: system_clock, steady_clock and
high_resolution_clock. A clock is a pairing of a time_point and
duration, and a function which returns a time_point representing now.
.
To make the timing facilities more generally useful, Boost.Chrono
provides a number of clocks that are thin wrappers around the
operating system's time APIs, thereby allowing the extraction of wall
clock time, user CPU time, system CPU time spent by the process:
.
* process_real_cpu_clock, captures wall clock CPU time spent by the
current process.
* process_user_cpu_clock, captures user-CPU time
spent by the current process.
* process_system_cpu_clock, captures
system-CPU time spent by the current process.
* A tuple-like class
process_cpu_clock, that captures real, user-CPU, and system-CPU
process times together.
* A thread_clock thread steady clock giving
the time spent by the current thread (when supported by a platform).
.
Lastly, Boost.Chrono includes typeof registration for duration and
time_point to permit using emulated auto with C++03 compilers.

Graphs are mathematical abstractions that are useful for solving
many types of problems in computer science. Consequently, these
abstractions must also be represented in computer programs. A
standardized generic interface for traversing graphs is of utmost
importance to encourage reuse of graph algorithms and data structures.

This library is divided into three interconnected parts:
* Statistical Distributions: Provides a reasonably comprehensive set of
statistical distributions, upon which higher level statistical tests
can be built.
* Mathematical Special Functions: Provides a small number of high quality
special functions, initially these were concentrated on functions used in
statistical applications along with those in the Technical Report on
C++ Library Extensions.
* Implementation Toolkit: Provides many of the tools required to implement
mathematical special functions.

The Boost Python Library is used to quickly and easily export a C++
library to Python such that the Python interface is very similar to
the C++ interface. It is designed to be minimally intrusive on your
C++ design. In most cases, you should not have to alter your C++
classes in any way in order to use them with Boost.Python. The
system should simply "reflect" your C++ classes and functions into
Python. The major features of Boost.Python include support for:
Subclassing extension types in Python, Overriding virtual functions
in Python, Member function Overloading, Automatic wrapping of
numeric operators among others.
.
This package also contains the pyste Boost.Python code generator that
allows the user to specify classes and functions to be exported using
a simple interface file, which following the Boost.Python's
philosophy, is simple Python code.
.
This package allows development of a Python interface for all current
versions of Python in Debian. Code using this library will need also
one of the Python development packages.

Regular expressions are a form of pattern-matching that are often
used in text processing; many users will be familiar with the Unix
utilities grep, sed and awk, and the programming language perl, each
of which make extensive use of regular expressions. Traditionally C++
users have been limited to the POSIX C APIs for manipulating regular
expressions, and while regex does provide these APIs, they do not
represent the best way to use the library. For example regex can cope
with wide character strings, or search and replace operations (in a
manner analogous to either sed or perl), something that traditional C
libraries can not do.

This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection,
containing the following functionalities:
.
* proper restoration of pointers to shared data
* serialization of STL containers and other commonly used templates
* data portability - streams of bytes created on one platform should
be readable on any other
* archive interface must be rich enough to permit the creation of an
archive that presents serialized data as XML in a useful manner
.
Here, "serialization" means the reversible deconstruction of an
arbitrary set of C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes.
archive: to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes.

Signals represent callbacks with multiple targets, and are also
called publishers or events in similar systems. Signals are connected
to some set of slots, which are callback receivers (also called event
targets or subscribers), which are called when the signal is
"emitted."

The Boost System library provides simple, light-weight error_code
objects that encapsulate system-specific error code values, yet also
provide access to more abstract and portable error conditions via
error_condition objects. Because error_code objects can represent
errors from sources other than the operating system, including
user-defined sources, each error_code and error_condition has an
associated error_category.

additional line of code.
.
Class cpu_timer measures wall clock time, user CPU process time, and
system CPU process time. Class auto_cpu_timer is a refinement of
cpu_timer that automatically reports the elapsed times when an
auto_cpu_timer object is destroyed.

These libraries are built with debug symbols. They are useful to debug
programs which use Boost. These must be used also at build/link time.

The Boost web site provides free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source
libraries. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++
Standard Library. One goal is to establish "existing practice" and
provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are
suitable for eventual standardization. Some of the libraries have
already been proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's
upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report.

This package provides headers and the auxiliary tools bjam, Boost.Build,
bcp, inspect, boostbook and quickbook.
